This is a kind of Generic Article because it will cover both Dongles, Internet Dongles (e.g g1), Internet decoders and receivers be it standalone that are used with a cccam account and router (e.g), branded decoders with inbuilt accounts (e.g tlink, liberty t1, g2 e.t.c) and branded decoders from popular Satellite service providers (e.g Dstv multichoice africa, Mytv africa e.t.c)
The bone of contention here is about 3 questions: 1. When should i update my decoder, 2. Why should i Upgrade my decoder and 3. Why shouldn't i Upgrade my decoder / receiver. I will have to take the question one after the other starting from the first to the last.
1. WHEN SHOULD I UPDATE MY DECODER?
It doesn’t matter if you use a dstv package, mytv package , starttimes, gotv, tlink, liberty e.t.c..
One thing i know about software upgrades is that you shouldn’t jump into it fir the fun of it. For example if you are using decoders like dstv e.t.c you are safe as they will only push the necessary updates to you and even st that, you have the choice to reject or accept it. So if you are using mytv, dstvor any other premium satellite packages i will advice you to always accept their push notifications to update your decoders and you should also do it promptly as failure to do it on time may even get you into trouble.
However if you use other types of decoders and boxes to watch pay satellite television,am talking abut such boxes and decoders such as tlink, liberty star, azsky g1 dongle, spider, dovesat, hawk strong decoders, dreambox, openbox e.t.c. I will advice you to please aand please do not search for softwares or software patches to update your decoders for the fun of it. To make this more clearer, newer strong decoders firmware tends to remove vital features such as dongle option menu and cccam options if you are not careful. and the matter is even worse because those who owns fake srtong decoders suffer more as they get their decoders permanently killed simply by updating it. Furthermore you maybe dwindle merely by looking for update software to your decoder as a result of general problems e.g i add some people saying there is upgrades for liberty star well i smile.
Finally the saddest aspect is that while updating, there mustn't be a power failure or else your working decoder will turn out to be a fried chicken. So when you should update these set of decoders mentioned above is when you are sure that if you upgrade, you will receive an improved service e.g those who upgrade their decoder to my latest 1.58 software on tlink 900 100% are experiencing improved performance.
2. WHY SHOULD I UPGRADE / UPDATE MY DECODER ?:
When you notice an apparent malfunctioning in your decoder then you may have no choice other than to upgrade.
> When other peoples decoders or dongles are working and yours are not.
> When a feature is missing in your decoder and it is not due to your fault and you are aware that a particular software update can bring this back then it is time for you to upgrade.
> Lastly when your decoder is dead then you can try to load the latest firmware to wake it up.
3. WHY SHOULD I NOT UPGRADE / UPDATE MY DECODER? :
I will simply say apart from those who are using premium packages from established satellite service providers, please do not upgrade your decoder for the fun of it. In fact do a grounded research and know what you are doing before you upgrade ypur decoder.
